Mangayin Encouraging Excellence Youth Scholarship

Scholarships are available to young Yawuru people, aged 12 – 30 years, who demonstrate leadership, excellence in their work or training, and who are engaged with the community. Through this fund, Nyamba Buru Yawuru supports youth with their goals and fosters their growth for future success in their chosen area of work or training. This fund is made possible by the actions of Yawuru elders, past and present, who fought for our Common Law legal rights and interests.

ARE YOU A YOUNG YAWURU PERSON AGED 12 – 30 YEARS?

“Mangayin” is the Yawuru name of Cissy Djiagween. The scholarship has been named in her honour, in recognition of her tireless contribution to the Yawuru community over many years, particularly throughout the Native Title court proceedings.
